HANISH - Jack, passed away on November 20, 1993 after a brief illness. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Jack was born June 1, 1900 in Scranton, PA, the beloved husband of Theresa for 68 years, Father of Monroe and Harve; grandfather of five; he also leaves behind a brother, Phillip, of Terra Haute and Indianapolis, IN. In 1917, Jack graduated from Scranton's Technical High School as valedictorian. He worked for K & K Auto Parts in Stroudsburg and Scranton and then established his own business as a distributor for Quaker State Motor Oil in Harrisburg and York, PA. He retired in 1961 and moved to Miami, beginning a new, second career in banking. Over the course of the past 32 years of "retirement'', he was associated with Miami National Bank, Second National Bank, Skylake State Bank, and for the last ten years had been the beloved Marketing Director of Universal National Bank. Starting as a commerical loan officer, his talents for organization, customer relations, and finance quickly moved him into executive positions at all of these banks. Many of his clients followed him from bank to bank, a testament to his astute advice and caring service. Jack's gift was his love and respect for all the people with whom he dealt, whether in business or personally. Everyone who came into contact with him remembers his generosity and warmth. He was affiliated with many lodges and associations, notably the Masons, where he was a member for over 70 years, achieving the level of 33rd degree. He was also a strong supporter of Technion University in Israel. On Jack's 90th birthday, the Universal National Bank dedicated a corner of its main office to him, complete with street signs. He was further honored by the city, county, and state with proclaimations and plaques. His birthday week was declared "Jack Hanish Week" in Miami Beach. This year, in recognition of his 93rd birthday, officers, board members and fellow workers of the Universal National Bank planted an olive tree and placed a plaque at the bank entrance to honor his career and many tangible contributions to the community. If good works are a man's monument, Jack's is a mountain high. There will never be another Jack Hanish.
